“It’s been an exceptionally difficult year for families with children who are fighting cancer Diagnosis of cancers in children has not slowed along with the economy Local families need our support and our commitment to find a cure more than ever before,” commented Robyn Raphael, founder and CEO of the Keaton Raphael Memorial We encourage everyone to “be brave and go bald” in solidarity with children who are fighting this terrible disease” 

Individuals who are interested in shaving must pre-register online at https://wwwstbaldricksorg, select either the Roseville or Sacramento location, and start collecting pledges Those who can’t part with their locks can still support the cause by making an online donation to the Roseville or Sacramento celebration or buy tickets to the Roseville after party “Baldy Bash” which starts at 5pm on Saturday, March 13th at the Westfield Galleria at Roseville outdoor promenade: go to wwwchildcancerorg

The 12th annual International Russian-Ukrainian-American Yarmarka Festival in downtown Sacramento The festival attracts 10-15 thousand people during the day Sponsored by Afisha Russian Media this festival seems to be the most popular event of the year for the Russian speaking community

Each Yarmarka Festival takes the entire year between them to plan the next, and this proves to be more effective every year in creating public awareness and curiosity about European culture A traditional Slavic fair originated in the 19th century from a simple market place event, it evolved into elaborate Festivals with musicians, dancers and artists performing in the town square surrounded by local merchants We hope to bring back some of this festive spirit with concerts and display local businesses

This is a wonderful opportunity for Russian and Ukrainian people to celebrate their culture and for Americans to enjoy learning about other traditions Communal celebrations involving carefully planned programs, outpourings of respect, rejoicing, or high revelry, established by custom or sponsored by various cultural groups or organizations Yarmarka is a very memorable event for the whole Slavic community

The all-day-event features a number of bands and solo performers on a concert stage, entertainment and games for the children, picnics, food booths, arts & crafts booths, souvenirs, and products from local merchants, sports events, and much more Native Russians who now live in the area and even out of state came together with the coordinators of the festival to create an exciting experience Afisha Radio, Russian Newspapers and TV will do remote broadcasts

The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less sucessful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits! This Enchanted Edition is based on the 1997 teleplay
